IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using your

appliance, follow these basic precautions:

 Read all instructions before using the appliance.
 DANGER: Risk of child entrapment!

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will "just sit in the
garage for a few days".

 Before you throw away your old appliance, take off the door so that children

may not easily climb inside.

 Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.

 Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a

fire hazard or explosion.

 Do not place the dryer in steamy rooms or where the dryer is directly exposed

to rain. Moisture may destroy the electrical insulation causing an electrical
shock hazard.

 Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
 Do not store gasoline or any other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of

this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

 Clean the lint screen before and after each load.
